Rigid Frame Bridge

Compare the dynamic characteristics and earthquake response between double thin-wall pier and single column pier, also study influence of prestress to seismic response or seismic performance evaluation. The results showed that the performance of double thin-wall pier is more reasonable than that of single column pier, the influence of prestress to seismic response is too small, but is important to seismic performance evaluation which should be considered, and the force of internal and external limb should be reasonable to avoid large difference between the two limbs in serviceability state.

Rigid Frame Bridge

In this paper, the influence of tie beams for piers is investigated on the dynamic characteristics and the seismic performance of a continuous rigid frame bridge with twin-legged piers. Modal analyses and the linear seismic response analyses are performed on a practical continuous rigid frame bridge with twin-legged piers with no tie beam, one tie beam and three tie beams of pier, using software Midas/civil. The findings indicate that installing tie beams of pier can increase the natural frequencies of this kind of bridge. Setting tie beams of pier is disadvantageous to the seismic performance of the bridge beam, but advantageous to improving the seismic performance of the twin-legged piers. The influence of tie beams of pier on the seismic performance on the whole structure is relevant to the pier height. These analytical results provide a reference for the seismic design and analysis of similar structures.
